Except I'm not sure Arie was following his heart, I think Arie was following something else and it's not his heart  jmo

A few more interviews.  I am just the messenger.  He thinks it can work.

Yep, that's why I have the breed. She is my 3rd. My other 2 were 15.5 and almost 14 years old when I had to put them down.

Well with the Women Tell All being filmed next week it will be very interesting indeed if they are allowed to "Tell All". Any of the women who are friends of Becca and active on social media know the rumors of Arie's proposal to her then his switch to Lauren. It will be fascinating to see how the women respond to Arie and who stands by him, Kendall ? Tia ? Beka M? What about Krystal. will anyone tell him he is no Peter?

It will be up to the producers and editing, I guess and then what direction CH plans to go. 
 The audience usually gets to see more of what really goes on than the television viewers. 
Years ago, the show used to survey the cast to see who they thought the lead would choose. It was not always a true reflection of who the cast actually felt. There were times production would tell cast who to name.

I am guessing this is about Jacqueline leaving.  Perhaps she told him she was there for Peter? Or Lauren told him she had just broken an engagement? Something that is supposed to look dramatic and isn't??

Am I correct that Lauren has no sm activities for the past 24 hours? Arie is in LA so I am very interested to find out if this is SHV weekend for them.

Lauren has been pretty quiet on SM.

I've been watching as I seem to think it is.

ETA: I noticed Lauren like this on twitter which was posted Feb 7th.

"The kissing bandit left the room and the bachelor entered." We agree with @TheRachLindsay that a different side of @ariejr came through in his date this week with @laurenburnham91. #TheBachelor https://t.co/SziuljF1nL

Well, well, well. What a sh*t storm I accidentally stumbled upon yesterday morning. I unfortunately spoiled myself while multitasking and had to see WTH was going on over here on the spoiled side.

Thanks @Ladybug82 for directing me to where I could see how things shaped up on this end. It took me a day to catch up on this thread...#2 & #3...and while it has been interesting finding out the whole timeline of what happened, it's not that unexpected. I think we pretty much predicted much of this in our own speculation, although we expected the switch to happen at the AFTR. Either way, this explains why I didn't see it with anyone, had Becca as F1 because everyone else was eliminated and yet she had the best set up for the next Bette.

I have to say, that having been unspoiled, I wasn't really a fan of anyone...I rarely am anyway...I have not been impressed by this season. Arie and his pillow lips have been a bore. The fake drama with Krystal and even Bibs was the usual, typical tptb manipulative clap trap. While the women are certainly very attractive, none of them particularly stood out. Mostly I put the blame on Arie himself. I was expecting a suave playboy, instead I got Mr. Rogers with the sweaters and lacking the brains and conversational skills. 

I don't care that Arie changed his mind. He is certainly entitled. I don't care that he picked Becca and then switched to Lauren. They are big girls. This show has been around for over 15 years and 30+ seasons and if they didn't know what to expect then they have nobody to blame but themselves. Reading their contract should have been a clue. Arie has a reputation that has been out there since Emily's season and google is one of the best inventions ever. Forearmed is forewarned. Nothing he has done, has really come as a surprise...other than just how stupid he really is and how after all this time and all the information out there about him, there are still women...and their parents...willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I am not one of them. 

I hope the rest of the show is better than the first part has been, but I'm not going to hold my breath. I suspect Arie will even make the switcheroo boring. I'm just here for the snark.
